I’m interested to see what Omega has in mind for the future of the 600 meter depth version of the Planet Ocean. Removing the helium escape valve crown and date complication make a huge difference. The Ultra Deep looks incredible. I’ve been saving for the 8900 and am planning to get one for my 50th birthday later this year. Hoping for something big from Omega soon.
I bought this same watch a couple of weeks ago. It looks and feels amazing on my wrist, which is not very big. Got a great deal from the AD. A perfect partner to my 2 other Plant Oceans and Seamaster 300 in steel and Gold. love the brand❤
I have no use for it but the construction of this watch is mind bending. It doesn't use traditional gaskets. Instead they developed a process to metalize (LiquidMetal actually) the crystal and interface of the two piece case back to allow for its depth rating. It is a true engineering marvel.
Nice watch! And thanks for the look; these kinds of watches have always intrigued me. I’m really surprised how compact it is. Yep, most of us would only ever take this to the Marinara trench at Olive Garden.
Excellent review. One of the nice things about Omega as a general statement, we can pick up the nicer models from a retailer at discount if you work your cards right. I picked up an Ultra Deep last week at my local watch store - a stainless with stainless band ordered for me. I was more interesting in the titanium model based on weight; however I took advantage of grabbing this one and haven't looked back. I loved heavy dive watches, but mutated to a preference of light over heavy. The first thing about the stainless it is an elegant (exquisite) wristwatch. It look much nicer than the titanium model. People notice this watch - it is a show stopper. It turns out to my surprise looking more like fine jewelry. The pictures do not show how gorgeous it is in real-time. As Rob mentioned (great review normally I never comment), I'm not going to the bottom of the ocean. We own watches like this based on amazing technology. In this case, the race to the bottom which for those who follow commercial diver watch historically started with the Omega Marine in 1932 originally tested to 73 meters later confirmed waterproof to 135 meters. We are talking technology and history here beyond even Rolex referring to diver watches. FTR this watch meets ISO 6425:2018 standard and the gradient face has 18K gold enhancements. Albeit very top heavy the watch wears well but you have to like a heavy watch. I knew exactly where I was going, more specifically removing the absolutely beautiful bracelet for a Omega NATO strap. This accomplished two things - 1. made the watch more secure on the wrist and 2. lightened what was a extremely heavy watch package into a very comfortable item, Plus it looks great on the NATO strap as a day to day item without damaging the stainless bracelet based on use. At discount priced below a Rolex Sub, I can't imagine why anyone would argue the price point.
Beautiful watch! I like your car analogy. One of my favorite watches is my Zelos Abyss 3, 3000M diver. Awesome watch. Fits good on my 8inch wrist, so no complaints about a watch this size. OMEGA killin it.
Man Rob, that is fine! I like it. I wished Omega would have offered something like that back when I used to could afford my driver's for the insane high prices but for Omega and the fit, finish and beautiful built definitely worth it. I liked the boxed domed sapphire crystal and the larger bezel. I know the no date cleans the dial up but I would have liked to seen Omega do what they do best which would have been incorporate the date window into the dial just right. Great review man.

Now if I personally could only go deeper than a feet foot of warm bath water. This would be an awesome night on the town watch, if anyone gives you grief, one backhand from this watch and they'll be kissing the floor, Iron Watch Man. All kidding aside, totally awesome watch.
New Longines chrono is 17mm thick so Omega’s done an amazing job with these dimensions for the purpose of the watch. I would wear it as a flex myself…in my dreams 😂
This is my new favorite Omega watch. I have a blue 300m but have a big wrist size of 8 1/2" and I'm a big guy at 6'5", 260# so I should be able to wear this without looking ridiculous.
"... You're not going to get a shirt cuff over this... easily." If a statement has ever been true hahah. When I tried it on I was surprised though that it is wearable!
I really like this watch...Id be curious to see how many they sell. A lot of feedback I have seen is people liking the watch but are turned off by the size...One day I will be in the position to drop $12K for an occasional wear piece ....lol
Wow-if only they made a smaller and thinner ~300m depth rated version that looked just about like this!....they would finally have a submariner killer in their lineup! Add those fancy 3D lume blocks for the numeric indices and BAM! Totally awesome!!!
The Omega is a really great watch. But the depth rating is not really special or impressive. Look at the H2O Kalmar 2 Deep Diver with a depth rating of 25000m! THAT IS IMPRESSIVE! And that from a little German company.
The water pressure at a depth of 6000 mtrs is eq to 47450 Newtons/sq inch on the watch face, and that pressure is also eq to a waterfall pressure from a height of 593 mtrs … this clearly implies that such a Watch is fully capable of withstanding pressure of a crushing 100ft Seawave and/or a Shockwave of 194dB in real life .. thus the Watch is fully justified for its construction . . !!!
The finishing is insane. I love everything about this watch except the thickness and the numbers on the dial not being lumed. Would be nice to see a version that doesn't go as deep but is way thinner. Exquisite Timepieces: please put the thickness of the watch on your product details pages
I love this type of watch. My favorite being the Rolex James Cameron Deep Sea. But they're absolutely ridiculous! 99% of the people that buy them won't even get them wet! I should know, I'm one of them....HaHa! I just love the way they look though and knowing that they're virtually indestructible!

I consider 18mm to be SUPER thin for a watch that goes that deep. Amazing.
Good point
Totally agree
Considering how thiccc the titan submersible was & still didn't make it 18mm is ultra thin. 😂
Really enjoyed that, and a kind tribute to Exquisite at the start - thanks for showing.

Shockingly this Ultra Deep looks pretty good on your wrist! Thanks for sharing.
I have no use for it but the construction of this watch is mind bending. It doesn't use traditional gaskets. Instead they developed a process to metalize (LiquidMetal actually) the crystal and interface of the two piece case back to allow for its depth rating. It is a true engineering marvel.
I tried this on the other day and it looks and feels AMAZING! I’d be happy to use this as a daily 👌🏻
Nice watch! And thanks for the look; these kinds of watches have always intrigued me. I’m really surprised how compact it is.
Yep, most of us would only ever take this to the Marinara trench at Olive Garden.
I can only imagine a planet ocean with these designs. Perhaps in the future

Is that like 30% off? How did you manage that? I’m looking to buy one soon hopefully.

This thing actually looks like a real watch, unlike the Deepsea Challenge.

Great review, a real piece of superb engineering, they go for about 20k here in Australia, time to start saving 👍👍
Now if I personally could only go deeper than a feet foot of warm bath water. This would be an awesome night on the town watch, if anyone gives you grief, one backhand from this watch and they'll be kissing the floor, Iron Watch Man. All kidding aside, totally awesome watch.
very cool video on an unbelievable watch. thanks for the video
Beautiful!
That's a bonkers piece of engineering 🤯
Love that dial.
Beautiful watch.
I know it’s huge and gaudy…. But if some CEO gifted me that watch I would lose my got tam mind. The coolest deep diver of all time!
New Longines chrono is 17mm thick so Omega’s done an amazing job with these dimensions for the purpose of the watch. I would wear it as a flex myself…in my dreams 😂
Lovely looking piece, thanks Rob. Does raise a question, 6000m and no HRV, SMP 300…. hmm
This is a fascinating watch from Omega! I wonder if they'll release a prototype of this watch?
Just purchased this watch in the Orange. So stoked
No helium valve needed on a 6000m watch, but a planet Ocean has to suffer the ugly protrusion? How does that work?
That's all you, Rob. It looks great on your wrist!
I got the titanium version yesterday. Swapped the NATO with the blue super skinny NATO from my Tudor Pelagos MN … perfect!
I will consider buying if Omega keeps this design, no helium escape, no date and makes the watch more wearable to the masses.
super nice watch, very nice.. but for some reason I would like a date or power reserve on the dial, but it is super nice.
i have the orange with the rubber strap.. i love this watch and the lume is on the bezel too
Amazing dial. I would gladly give up a lot of the depth rating if I could get that dial on something that’s half the thickness.
Wish I could get the jumping hour hand and similar color way in the 39.5 PO.
Very cool watch
This is what the Seamaster 300M should look like. If it were scaled down to those dimensions (and price) that thing would sell like hotcakes.
Holy crap... Look at that thing!!!
The real diver watch right there!
This is my new favorite Omega watch. I have a blue 300m but have a big wrist size of 8 1/2" and I'm a big guy at 6'5", 260# so I should be able to wear this without looking ridiculous.
All I can say is that I want one.
I love it, but it would look like an ankle monitor on me.
Where’d you get the cool Seiko coasters Rob? Thanks
They are Zimbe special edition coasters. Hard to find now
Where is the link to the omega video?
"... You're not going to get a shirt cuff over this... easily." If a statement has ever been true hahah. When I tried it on I was surprised though that it is wearable!
Actually it works perfectly with a French cuff.
Well, that's fine by me. I haven't worn a shirt with cuffs since August 28th, 2000, when I left the Army. No cuffs on a T.
The caseback is probably titanium to save weight. Im sure it is thick and using titanium probably saved 30 grams off of the final weight.
Nice watch, it’s kind of funny that it has a divers extension.
Anyone know how they are able to get away with removing the He escape?
This is beautiful. How much!?
6:30 $12k
@@lifeontilt09 12k!? I'll pass. 😂
I really like this watch...Id be curious to see how many they sell. A lot of feedback I have seen is people liking the watch but are turned off by the size...One day I will be in the position to drop $12K for an occasional wear piece ....lol
i'm sure this watch will take me right down to the bottom of the ocean.
Not complaining at all, but I always imagined a deep diver like this would be a monobloc case, perhaps based on the Ploprof.
Wow-if only they made a smaller and thinner ~300m depth rated version that looked just about like this!....they would finally have a submariner killer in their lineup! Add those fancy 3D lume blocks for the numeric indices and BAM! Totally awesome!!!
Where'd you get that watch stand from @RandomRob?
aubliq.com
Is it safe to wear this watch while you’re washing dishes?
Depends on how deep your kitchen sink is
I think that for a third of the price I’d settle for the paltry 3000m water resistance of a Breitling Avenger Seawolf. Cool watch though!!!
The Omega is a really great watch. But the depth rating is not really special or impressive. Look at the H2O Kalmar 2 Deep Diver with a depth rating of 25000m! THAT IS IMPRESSIVE! And that from a little German company.
7:40 its purpose build means they made up a story to sell it.
Nothing to do with diving
It's like a modern hyper car but a bit more usable.
The water pressure at a depth of 6000 mtrs is eq to 47450 Newtons/sq inch on the watch face, and that pressure is also eq to a waterfall pressure from a height of 593 mtrs …
this clearly implies that such a Watch is fully capable of withstanding pressure of a crushing 100ft Seawave and/or a Shockwave of 194dB in real life ..
thus the Watch is fully justified for its construction . . !!!
It has the exact same dimensions as my Breitling Avenger Seawolf. Except for the Seawolf is less water resistant. It is only 3000m/10,000ft. 😂
I dare to say that the Seiko MM300 with monocoque hold the same and more
Cool watch! Not for me but I’m glad it exists. The ultimate wearable desk diver.
Looks something like a Seiko? Maybe??
Accuracy???
God damn
WOW
6000 meters, awesome, but will it withstand being run over by a Sherman tank😮
The Mariana Trench is still too deep for this watch. 😋 Just kidding 6000 metres is crazy and the watch is great looking (no date window, yes!).
If omega can make this watch without that horrible helium escape wart why can’t they do it on the 300 ?
Well said!!
Bezel ASMR
And no helium escape valve? Weird…
The finishing is insane. I love everything about this watch except the thickness and the numbers on the dial not being lumed. Would be nice to see a version that doesn't go as deep but is way thinner.
Exquisite Timepieces: please put the thickness of the watch on your product details pages
I got a replica one unfortunately it's not waterproof
@4:44 NO thumb - official cloth. This is a serious watch
6000m is enough for desk diving.
Nice piece of engineering but a manhole at the wrist
Grail

I think fantasy use specs do make for a toy. A big boy's toy, for sure. But this is exactly when women make fun of us as boys.
when you can go down 6000m but cannot survive a 2m drop😏
Beautiful watch, but i'll pass
Did some magic to the steel!! What an insult, learn Your product..
gussl's customer service is top notch. They were responsive to my questions and made the purchasing process easy.
Just buy the AAA REPS.
The fuss about watches like this are massively overpriced and its like the snobs who drink wine . Its BS
6000 meters are not good, I occasionally dive to 7-8 K so it wouldn’t work for me 😂
